Answer:
Phenotypic ratio - 3 Freckes : 1 No freckles
Explanation:
This question represents a monohybrid cross i.e. involving a single gene coding for possession or not of freckles. The allele for possession of freckles (F) is dominant over the allele for no freckles (f).
In a cross between two HETEROZYGOUS parents i.e. Ff × Ff, each parent will produce gametes with alleles F and f respectively. Using a punnet square (see attached image), four possible offsprings will be produced with genotypes: FF, Ff, Ff and ff.
Based on this genotypes, the phenotypic ratio of the offsprings will be 3:1 where 3 offsprings will possess freckles and 1 will have no freckles.
Answer:
Replication would not occur on either the leading or lagging strand.
Explanation:
In DNA replication in E. coli, the enzyme primase is used to attach a 5 to 10 base ribonucleotide strand complementary to the parental DNA strand. The RNA strand serves as a starting point for the DNA polymerase that replicates the DNA. If a mutation occurred in the primase gene, replication would not occur on either the leading or lagging strand.
